advise me if lime sown with the oats
will injure them? Will lane help• to

lime would you sow? How many
pounds alfalfa is necessary? 'Would
you use fertilizer?
Answer.—Lime is not usually need-
ed for oats. Cereals such as oats,
barley, wheat, etc., thrive on a neu-
tral soil.

lime has been nown to increase the
yield of oats slightiy. The tendency
of lime is to help ' strengthen the

the soil for the growth of alfalfa. Al-

Likely it would be possible for you to
have your soil tested before spring.
You could get a small reacto soil set

What Some Famous

Apparently our Lord was at this
time conducting a series of preaching

auni as his centre. During one of his
Tits to the city the healing of the
analytic took place. When it became
own that the preacher and miracle -
worker had returned, crowds flocked
to the house where he was staying.
Even the aproaches from the street
were blocked with people.
Win did they come? Was it the
appeal of greattruthsuttered from
the heart that drew them? Sometimes
it is said, by way of advice to preach-
ers, "Preach the truth and the
churches will be -filled." Jesus discov-
ered that loyalty to truth in some
Situations is one 'Of'the best ways for

work Jesus was providing something
that people wanted. When the time
came when the things they wanted
were not forthcoming, they deserted
him. While Jesus' compahsion for all
people in trouble was an essential part
of his God -revealing personality;
nevertheless, it was a constant occa-
sion of embarrassment. People were

Hungarian Officers

Buda.pest. — A swaggering young
representative of present-day Hungar-
ian militarism has just been instru-
mental in revealing the post-war
tragedy on a distinguished Hungarian
officer who fought it. the war.
In an overcrowded street car on
the line which runa from the Stock
Exchange to the zoo, the conductor
accidentally bumped into a young
subaltern, who turned on him and
dressed him down mercilessly. The
conductor evade no reply and con-
tinued to 'collect fares and punch
tickets until the young ofihoer, anger-
ed at his calmness, seized him by the
collar, shook him and demanded to
see his identity card.
The conductor silently produced it

young officer turned red, stammered
out a full apology and left the car at
the next stopping place. The con-
ductor's papers showed him to be a
distinguished ex -officer, a cavalry
captain permanently disabled 50 per

On one to three days after birth,
the lambs suffering from this disease,
will stop nursing, have a dull look
and spend the time lying down. The

color and soft or fluid. Infected lambs
usually die in three days after the
disease starts. This disease is due to
a germ that gains entrance into the
stomach and intestine of the lamb.
Dirty yards and pens are dangerous,

transfer the germs from the dirty
